Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-18382 is a fully insulated female wire disconnect designed for secure, push-on electrical terminations in control wiring and general-purpose applications. The connector accepts 12-10 AWG wire and features a 1/4 inch tab width for compatibility with standard quick-disconnect terminals. The yellow nylon insulation provides a color-coded identification system that simplifies wiring verification during installation and service. The BD-18382 meets CSA and UL listing requirements, making it suitable for use in code-governed electrical work. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel wiring professionals use this connector type when terminating control circuits, appliance wiring, and low-voltage branch circuits.

This female disconnect is suited for residential and light commercial wiring applications where a reliable, vibration-resistant push-on connection is required. Typical installations include HVAC control wiring, appliance manufacturing, panel assemblies, and field service terminations. The yellow color coding corresponds to the 12-10 AWG wire gauge range, following standard industry color identification for insulated disconnects. Sold in a package quantity of 25 connectors, this item is appropriate for bulk field use or bench stock replenishment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or licensed HVAC technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating or disturbing any conductors. Use a ratcheting or calibrated crimping tool sized for 12-10 AWG insulated disconnects to achieve a secure, gas-tight crimp. Avoid using pliers or non-calibrated tools, as improper crimps can result in high-resistance connections or pull-out failures.
